Hi Cor:
Thanks for your info - it helped me create a shortcut however it is to a
folder and not to the program until you reach the folder. I am not able to
edit the "target" in the properties window.
It created a desktop icon that when clicked takes me to the installation
folder where there is another icon with the same name. Clicking that does
run the program.
What I need to do is to get an icon on the desktop that runs the program
directly.
Also: Is there a way to bypass the windows installation for upgrades.
Presently I'm forced to go to control panel and remove the program before I
can install it again. This program will be updated monthly and the last
thing I want to do is have my users go to control panel and delete anything.
Thanks again for your help!

Fred,
In the deploymentproject rightclicking on Primary Output in the
application folder let you create a shortcut that you can drag to your folder left
"user's Desktop" and/or "Users Programs Menu"
(You would probably give it a nice name, however this is just
rightclicking on that shortcut and do that n the properties)
I hope this helps?

Hi:
I've written a really cool VB.NET application that I want to install on
the
many computers in my company (all located behind a firewall) so I'm
trying to create a Setup and Deployment project. I'm not having much luck and
the
documentation doesn't help either.
I have created a "software update" page on our web server and it sends
file
"setup1.msi" which runs the windows installer just fine.
All I need to do is to copy two files to a folder that I have chosen
"C:\myapp" and create a desktop icon.
I am getting the files in the correct folder however my desktop icon
just shows a directory of the desktop folder.
Any help with the "missing step" would be appreciated! Also if anyone
knows
of a well written document on how to do that would appreciate that
also.
Thanks very much!
Fred
